What is the form that offers a greater concentration of the substances present in the Shiitake?
The greatest concentration is in your Standardized extract powder, which can be obtained through green and sustainable technologies, managing to concentrate its active biomolecules intact, for a better use of its qualities. There are also Galenic of Excerpt in liquid format (Dr. Immune Five), which allows to optimize dosage to achieve adequate results to the specific needs of its use. The combination of extracts is also common in nutraceutical with Shiitake, so we can find it Reishi and Maitake (Mico-Mix) And, in another preparation, with Reishi, Maitake, Sun mushroom, cordyceps and Chaga (Mico-Five). An intermediate option between taking grilled shiitake and taking an extract in capsules or liquid would be from 100% Shiitake Micronized Powder which can be found in the formula Bio-Istintin and in Hifas-Microbiota. Also, we find shiitake powder combined with other species such as Reishi, Maitake and Pleurotus in Bio-Defense.

Shiitake culture
This mycological species is fundamentally obtained on wood or products derived from it such as sawdusts, splinters or bark, which colonizes for its capacity as saprophyte. Although in nature, Shiitake spreads sporalically, in cultivation this reproductive route is not the most recommended to produce important amounts. Thus, the normal culture technique is the use of inoculum in pellets to be able to infect wood trunks with milellium free of molds and pathogenic bacteria.
FEATURED BIOMOLECULES
Fresh or dried shiitake mushrooms are usually sold without the stem. Scientific studies have confirmed that both the cap and stem can be used to obtain nutraceuticals. Lentinula is a source of dietary fibre and other active biomolecules:
